AGRICULTURE.

Chairman Hatch, of the House COMMITTEES
on Agriculture, was enabled on Friday to
bring to vote the Senate bill providing for
maintenance Of agricultural experiment sta
tions in the several States; and what was still
more to the purpose, the House, by vote Of
157 to 10, suspended the rules and passed the
bill, which then went to the President for his
APPROVAL This, says Washington dispatch,
is a measure in favor of which Congress has
been flooded with petitions and memorials
during the last two or three years, and which.
fif faithfully enacted will be of greater benefit
to the farmers probably than would be a law
to transform the Commissioner Of
Agriculture into a Secretary Of Ag-
riculture with double his present
salary. The bill proposes thatthere shall be
at least one agricultural experiment station in
each State and Territory, and appropriates,
from the proceeds Of the sales Of public lands.
$4,000 annually for the benefit of such station
or stations. The object and duty of these
stations shall be to conduct origi-
nal researches or verify experiments
nected with the scientific theory Of agri-
culture, having due regard to the varying
conditions and needs of the respective States
or Territories The bill provides for the
quarterly publication in each State and Ter
r1tory Of the results of the experiments at the
5tdtiOiiS biltibHi, ailu IOf the puDucdUlOn aIiu
distribution Of annual reports.

to persuade the House to send the Agricult-
ural Department bill, with the Senate amend
ments, to q committee Of conference; but OBJ
lection was made and the bill went to his COM
mittee liz reported back to the House again,
o single objection would send it to the foot Of
an overloaded calendar, 80 that the prospect
thatsit would become law at this session was
considered doubtful In fact, unless the
Speaker would recognize member to move to
two-thiPds of the House would support tho
motion, the measure would die on the calen-
dax.

A Pleasant Time

The Ogden firemen, so well known
for open-hearted generosity, fairly out
did themselves last evening when they
met in Firemen's Hall. The brass
band was present and rendered some of
their soul-stirring music. Sandwiches
were served and good time generally
enjoyed. The social was one long to be
remembered and all participants re-
tired to their home in good spirits.

THE ISSUE BEFORE US.


dcred, and if Il majority,,of the vo-
tors of LaurCns county so desire,
that Act will become law. Our po-
sition on this question is we'll
cannot support it, Tue ADvEHrIs-
ER has no fight to make against the
Bill. If tho friends OF temperance
think this course will promote their
cause, we will chcCrfully submit to
the expressed will Of the majority,
but we are Of the opinion that they
J. mistaken, and desire to give
some of the grounds upon when
this belief is founded.
1t is u dangerous doctrine to hold
that the end justiiies the means,
for indeed the experience II the
past shows clearly that such an
idea has led to the most Sanguinary
conflicts, the most barbarous prac-
tees and in human cruelty, on the
part Of christians; who allowed
their zeal to overcome reason, and
hence became vcritahlo fanatics.
The end sought to be accomplish
cd by Mr.. MURHAY's Bill, is praise
worthy, but as much cannot be said
for the spirit which prompted it, and
the means used in accomplish
this desirable end. Now, we ~
pose to make a calm and impartial
review of the Bill and state our
objections.
What Is known as The Anderson
Laurcns Prohibition i}ill, was born
and reared rs purely political
maneuver, and those who shouted
Its praises most lustHrly, thought
more Of their personal popularity
than the good Of the people.
But to the Bill. We object to it
because 1t Is local in its operations.
This paper has from the first OPP
oscd all local legislation. If a
measure IS not suitable for South
Carolina, it should not be saddlcd
on Laurcns County. Ours is be
coming an jmperium IN imperfo,
Our constitutionrocognizcs no such
lawmakers rs the county lcsisla-
ture; set, year by year we see the
work OF passing laws for the state,
becoming unpopular, and the de-
legation from each county in the
legislature, is allowed to act for
their Immediate constituents, tax
ing no concern about the work of
other delegations. Consequently,
we see that MAJ can commit an
offence with lmpunity in Spartan
burg, out II he should step across
